Sally Ride is glued to the classroom television as astronaut John Glenn blasts off into space. “I want to do that,” she quietly says to herself, only to be reminded that girls can’t be astronauts. They can’t be shortstop for the LA Dodgers either, another early aspiration, and she soon sets her sights on tennis, learning teamwork and good sportsmanship.
Her insatiable curiosity leads to a passion for science, and children will join in Sally’s discoveries through fun, interactive experiments, all of which they can do again at home. As she matures, she studies the wonders of the universe and finally, when girls can, she becomes America’s first woman astronaut and a passionate advocate for STEM. Her compelling story will ignite students’ curiosity and inspire them to dream, dare and develop their own gifts and talents to the fullest.

Someday humans will visit the planet Mars, and eventually, some intrepid explorers may establish a permanent colony there.
But what will it take to turn this from science fiction to reality? What are the challenges to humans exploring Mars, which of them are we making progress on, and which still present major obstacles that we don’t yet know how to overcome?
Join us to explore the perils of the Martian environment, and how solutions to surviving there could help improve life on Earth.
Presented by Zoe Learner Ponterio, Data Manager at the Spacecraft Planetary Imaging Facility at Cornell University.
